Unfolding

The plan has been unfolding. I have lost a few pounds, which is what is supposed to happen. My diet changes today. My cardio is increased today. I'm going to write a new weight training routine today also.

The hard work of 4 people unfolded Saturday at the NPC Northern Kentucky Bodybuilding and Figure Championships. I have been working with 1 female bodybuilder, 1 male bodybuilder, and 2 figure competitors. I was so proud of them and honestly proud of myself too. They worked so hard to get to their competition, and I felt like I did my job right because each of them was their absolute best on stage. Rachel, the female bodybuilder, placed 1st in her weight class. Harold, the male bodybuilder placed 4th in his weight class. Donna, one figure competitor, placed 5th in her height class. Angela, the other figure competitor, didn't place in the top 5, but looked great anyway. Now that this show is over, I'll have a bit more time to focus on me, and I'll definitely need it.

My life is unfolding. I have been dragging myself out of bed at 4am to do morning cardio 6 days a week up to this point. I have trouble getting to bed at night because I have lots of work to do in the evenings that I can't tear myself away from, and a husband that I don't get to spend enough time with who I also can't tear myself away from. Now, I'll be doing that 7 days a week and I have to find a way to do more cardio in the evening 4 times a week. Carla, my trainer, said "only 30 minutes 4 times a week for now". I'm pretty stressed out.

I had my bodyfat percent tested again on Friday, and it was not motivating. It is possible that it was inaccurate, but if it is correct, I'm losing muscle mass. In case you didn't know...that's not good. It's probably from lack of sleep, and stress. I have to correct the sleep issue, and the stress issue, but I don't know where to begin. I'm falling further behind on my work. I have to decline to train people and give more of my clients to my other trainer, Deric. I also need to utilize more people to work hours staffing my gym, but for some reason no one wants to work, and being paid doesn't seem to be any consolation. For now, I'm going to assume that the bf test was fouled and try my best to stay focused and motivated. That's all I can do.
